Oh-my-god, kaggle competition about diabetis… Hmmm, I have something to do these days… It’s also a GOOD chance for me to learn some medical terms…

1. Pre-processing Diabetic Retinopathy Images

It’s NOT hard for us to locate APTOS [UpdatedV14] Preprocessing- Ben’s & Cropping, which seems to me a professional snippet of code preprocessing diabetic retinopathy images. Let’s just try it out directly.

1.1 Implementation

Today, I’ve got another GOOD news: our ARM Linux board based on AllWinner H3 is demonstrated successful.

1. Hardware

2.1 Appearance

Yeah, this is how OUR OWN board looks like:

Longer Vision Technology AllWinner H3 Board

2.2 Specifications

From the appearance, it’s NOT hard to tell the specifications:

Device Version Units
USB 2.0 2
Wired 100Mbps 1
HDMI 1
Power Adaptor 5V 1

2. Flash Armbian Debian

2.1 Armbian for AllWinner H3

Armbian provides abundant info for AllWinner H3:

2.2 Armbian for Orange Pi PC

I’m so lucky today that I tried ONLY ONE TIME and have this Debian Buster with Armbian Linux for Orange Pi PC successfully installed and run on our board. You just need to download and extract Armbian_5.91_Orangepipc_Debian_buster_next_4.19.59.img out, and have it installed by dd.

2.3 Longer Vision Technology H3 Board Test

It’s NOT hard to find out your board’s IP address

  • either from within your router
  • or boot your board with a monitor and run the command ip -c address.

Now, you should be able to SSH into your H3 baord directly as follows:

SSH Into LVT H3 Board

After you run

  • sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade
  • sudo armbian-config

you should be able to upgrade your Debian Buster with Armbian Linux from 4.19.59-sunxi to 4.19.62-sunxi.

3. Issues

It’s a kind of late. Let me finish this up for now ASAP.

3.1 Hardware Issues

  • ONLY 1 USB 2.0 port is working properly.
  • It’s EASY to reach the critical temperature, as showing:

SSH Into LVT H3 Board

3.2

We really need a better low-cost chip to provide the support for:

  • USB 3.0
  • GigE

JeVois is an ARM Linux based camera module, delivered by JeVois Inc.. So far, this is the ONLY ARM Linux based camera module that I’m recommending, for its well-designed community as well as plenty of source code on Github.

1. Specifications

Clearly:

2. Getting Started with Jevois

The BEST place to start with JeVois is the following Youtube video:

I’m NOT going to repeat this step-by-step setup but move forward to the demonstration step directly.

3. Connect JeVois with Host

After having flashed JeVois’s TF card with the LATEST Linux image, we connect JeVois camera module into the laptop. This TF card will NOT mount onto the computer as a device automatically, but can be detected by lsusb as follows:

4.2 JeVois Inventor

4.2.1 JeVois Tutorial

Again, a Youtube video is suggested to follow for the demonstration:

4.2.2 My Test

You can either download JeVois Inventor directly from the Official Website, or like me, build JeVois Inventor source code from scratch, based on my own QT, etc. Anyway, after JeVois Inventor has been successfully installed, it’s the time for us to test it out.

Being quite busy these days. Seriously, ARM board based on AllWinner H3 from my company Longer Vision is manufactured, and under test. Let’s have some fun.

In the end, better to listen to some music while blogging.

0. Preface

My ESP32-Cam has finally arrived today. The brand of AI Thinker has been demonstrated to be reliable.

In fact, I strictly followed randomnerdtutorials’s blog ESP32-CAM Video Streaming and Face Recognition with Arduino IDE to demonstrate this low-cost video surveillance camera. So, in this blog, I ONLY enumerate some KEY POINTS that should be emphasized.

1. Connection

1.1 Schematic

ESP32-Cam can be connected to my laptop exactly the same as shown (cited directly from ESP32-CAM Video Streaming and Face Recognition with Arduino IDE).

ESP32-CAM-wiring-FTDI Schematic

1.2 Real Connection

The real connection looks as:

2. Key Points on Flashing ESP32-Cam

2.1 Code Modification

Example code CameraWebServer should be trivially modified as:

// Select camera model
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_WROVER_KIT
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP_EYE
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_PSRAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_WIDE
#define CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER

3. Multiple Camera Streaming with Static IPs

I’m NOT going to talk about how to set up static IPs for IP cameras (well, yes, clearly, ESP32-Cam can be looked on as a low-cost video surveillance IP camera for sure). We ONLY demonstrate 4 ESP32-Cams are under streaming simultaneously with 4 statically allocated IP addresses.

We show the capturing effects FIRST:

4 ESP32-Cam Capturing Simultaneously

Then, we show how the cables are connected by using a power bank and an extra bread board. Here, FTDI is just used as a power adaptor to provide 5V voltage.

噩耗传来，今晨，高中同学逝世，年仅43岁。今天是2019年8月15日，是日军投降的日子。同学经历4个月急性胰腺炎的煎熬，耗光所有家财，于北京时间早上9时11分不治。这两个神奇的时间…


难忘高中一起踢球、打麻将的日子。在球场上，他是跑不死的。而且身体肌肉比较多，所以才有两个外号：“施瓦辛格”、“周扎实”。


我的印象，他应该是我们高中班第一位走的同学。人生无常，想当年，他也是我们班第一位获得保送的同学吧？老天爷就是这样不公平。1995年，湖北省是高考前先保送，但是保送了之后还要参加高考，保送者确定必须过一本线才能进入所保送的大学就读。他心态好的出奇，保送东北大学之后就不再学习了，每天看金庸小说。高考竟然考到652？不太记得分数。总之，是一个在湖北省稳稳上清华的分数。经历了本硕连读，东大阿派的锤炼，他成功完成香港中文大学博士学位，并令人羡慕的进入珠海某大学就职，面朝大海、春暖花开的海景房，曾经令我幻想羡慕不已…可惜至今，我也没有机会去看过。


他的婚礼是在武汉办的，我是亲自参加的，他娶了一位非常漂亮的嫂子。他在婚礼上非常紧张，大概是兴奋的？夫妻对拜的时候，竟然说出“感谢娶我为妻”！这个证据确凿，每每想起，忍俊不止。


我在英国的时候，他给我介绍了一个很漂亮的女朋友。可惜缘分没有让我们走到一起。我还是通过这位已经是两个孩子的妈妈，获悉同学的病情，并立即通知高中同班同学筹款。只可惜还是…听到病危病重，真的是不敢相信自己的耳朵！确定水滴筹的照片就是他本人，已经瘦得不成人形！获悉同学病情的前三天，每天早上起床，眼睛湿润都不自知…前几年我到珠海，我们几位高中同学还吃海鲜聚会，没有见到他。没想到那次错过，就错过了一世…


这几年，见得太多了！这个社会，好像真的是：越是好人，越走得早？老天爷啊…“逢庙必拜、遇观必香”…人到中年，真的开始有点相信神佛…根本还没来得及小小欢庆几小时前首次带父母到美国小游，就…明天去列治文拜佛祈福。


我很喜欢卡拉OK，一直想要在hexo blog 加入自己原唱作为背景音乐（这也算是创新吧？），今天这篇不算是祷文的blog，纪念我同学，也算督促我完成了这个小小任务。回到家、刚刚开始check wechat，就看到这个噩耗，真的是… 这是我第一次发全民K歌，中间有跑调，我觉得没有必要修改任何！因为这就是我自己原唱，在听到消息之后，也着实情绪不能控制…


人生的意义在什么？“且行且珍惜”！珍惜身边拥有的一切吧！想起去年某台姐对我说：“看到你一家三口团聚，就感觉很幸福”。是啊…台姐本人从小姥姥带大、10岁出头一个人给姥姥送葬；而周伯伯白发人送黑发人，这…人，真的不能太“不知足”！我思想还没成熟呢！这么大了，怎么长的？太幼稚！！种地，有什么不好？？


不知不觉，温哥华当地时间2019年8月15日凌晨3点20分。愿你在天堂没有痛苦…

Having been keeping an eye on Widora and Espressif for quite a bit. I finally decided to test out Widora’s development board AIRV.


 1. Background Knowledge


 1.1 Espressif


Espressif is based in Shanghai, China, focusing on Wifi/Bluetooth chips, now have two main Wifi modules:



 1.2 Widora


Widora is headquartered in Beijing, China, providing development boards using Espressif Wifi/Bluetooth chips.


 1.3 Kendryte


NEVER heard of Kendryte before. It seems Kendryte develops some AI based on Risc-V chip architecture? That seems to be a good concept…


 1.4 HiFive


As for Risc-V, HiFive developed by SiFive has to be mentioned in any case.


For me, a NOBODY has NOT had any chance or capability to deal with chips… So… shame… Anyway, let’s test it out… _


 2. Test on Widora AIRV Face Detection


By using a RUBBISH USB cable, you should already be able to run the face detection sample code existing inside the board.

However, you really need to use a QUALIFIED Micro-B USB to USB Type A cable, in order to list the device out by lsusb.

Today, I got a very BAD news: one of my BEST classmates in my senior middle school has been staying in the hospital for OVER 3 months. The very serious pancreatitis has used up ALL his family’s savings. That is the current Chinese medical system. Chinese people have NO 2nd choice:


    

  • either be the ruled class, who need to pay unaffordable medical service fee
    • 

  • or be the ruling class, who have THE RIGHT to enjoy ALL types of FREE medical service
    • 



SiFive is a NEW birth in the CHIP industry, which is based on RISC-V, started by University of California, Berkeley. I don’t know where it will go, and how well it can do. But, innovation is just the right way to breakthrough the STALE ruling class.


 1. Zephyr


There are plenty of popular RTOSes for MCUs with different architectures, including ARM, RISC-V, etc.


In my personal point of view:


    

  • MCUs: are based on microcontrollers, which are normally single user single thread.
    • 

  • SBCs: come with a true multi-user multi-threading operating system, for instance, Linux.
    • 





A detailed summary can be found on Wikipedia.


 1.2 Getting Started With Zephyr


Over 150 boards are NOW supported by Zephyr, including today’s leading role: HiFive1 Rev B. Let’s just test out Zephyr right away.


In the following, we strictly follow Zephyr Getting Started Guide, with trivial customization.


 1.2.1 Get the source code


Make sure west has been installed by pip install -U west --user, and then initialize and update Zephyr project contents as:

 1.2.4 Build and Run an Application


Before building and run an application, please make sure you have all required tools ALREADY installed on the host computer. On my HOST Ubuntu 19.04, I’ve got to manually install dtc (the latest release is version 1.5.0). I’m NOT going to talk about how go figure out installing any REQUIRED packages at this moment. Supposing you’ve got ALL REQUIRED tools successfully installed ALREADY.

In my case, it’s because DTC is wrongly and automatically set to:


1
DTC:FILEPATH=/opt/zephyr-sdk/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/dtc


even if

➜  zephyr whereis dtc
dtc: /usr/bin/dtc
➜  zephyr git:(master) ✗ dtc --version
Version: DTC 1.5.0-gb8d6eca7-dirty


 Solution 1: Temporary Solution


Reset DTC to value /usr/bin/dtc in file build/CMakeCache.txt


 Solution 2: Permanent Solution


Modify file ./cmake/toolchain/zephyr/0.10.1/host-tools.cmake as follows


    

  • Replace set(HOST_TOOLS_HOME ${ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/sysroots/${TOOLCHAIN_ARCH}-pokysdk-linux) with set(HOST_TOOLS_HOME /usr)
    • 

  • Remove list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${HOST_TOOLS_HOME}/usr)
    • 

  • Replace set_ifndef(QEMU_BIOS ${HOST_TOOLS_HOME}/usr/share/qemu) with set_ifndef(QEMU_BIOS /usr/local/share/qemu)
    • 

  • Replace set_ifndef(OPENOCD_DEFAULT_PATH ${HOST_TOOLS_HOME}/usr/share/openocd/scripts) with set_ifndef(OPENOCD_DEFAULT_PATH /usr/local/share/openocd/scripts)
    • 



Then, rebuild everything with west build -b hifive1_revb samples/hello_world.

It seems the messages are from bootloader, sometimes it fails to initialize ESP32 module.

Today I’d love to talk about Pixy Cam a bit, which I do NOT recommend at all. There are several reasons:


    

  • Price: As you can see from Amazon, it’s comparatively expensive, $95 USD.
    • 

  • Warranty period: 90 days from date of purchase
    • 

  • Size: too big
    • 



Actually, I purchased PIXY (with pan tilt mount base) in 2016 from amazon.com. However, it went died long time ago. What’s more, I’ve tested ALL possible solutions from Pixycam Troubleshooting, but the 90-day warranty is easy to pass.


I do NOT want to talk more about Pixy Cam, and here is **my conclusion:

Please use esp32-cam instead.
